We built 98bd because Bangladeshi players deserved something better — a platform that actually works, pays out on time, and treats every user with respect. Here is who we are, what drives us, and why thousands of players across Bangladesh choose us every single day.
Every company has a beginning, and ours started with frustration. A few years back, a small group of us — all from Bangladesh, all regular online players — kept running into the same problems. Platforms that looked decent on the surface but fell apart when it came to the basics. Withdrawals that took days. Customer support that did not speak Bangla. Games that felt rigged. Bonus offers with terms so complicated you needed a law degree to understand them.
We knew Bangladesh had a massive community of players who loved cricket betting, card games like Teen Patti, and online slots. But the platforms serving them were built for other markets and barely adapted for local needs. Payment options were limited. The apps ran slow on the phones most people in Dhaka or Chittagong actually use. Nobody was building something specifically for us.
So we decided to build 98bd ourselves. The goal was straightforward — create the platform we always wished existed. One that accepts bKash and Nagad. One where withdrawals actually process in minutes, not days. One where the games are certified fair by independent auditors. One where the support team speaks your language and understands your concerns. One that runs smoothly on a 2GB RAM Android phone because that is what most of our users carry in their pockets.
Today, 98bd serves over fifty thousand active players across Bangladesh. We have grown significantly since launch, but the founding principle has never changed: build for Bangladeshi players first, and everything else follows. Every product decision, every game partnership, every feature update starts with one question — does this make the experience better for someone in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Sylhet, or Khulna?
"We did not set out to be the biggest platform. We set out to be the one that Bangladeshi players actually trust."
— Founding Team, 98bd98bd was officially launched with a focus on cricket betting and basic casino games. Initial user base came entirely through word of mouth within the Bangladeshi community.
Recognizing that the majority of Bangladeshi users access the internet through mobile phones, 98bd launched a dedicated Android app optimized for lower-end devices.
Partnered with professional live dealer studios to bring real-time casino experiences to 98bd users, including Teen Patti, Baccarat, and Roulette with Bengali-speaking dealers.
98bd crossed the milestone of 50,000 active monthly users, establishing itself as one of the most-used platforms among Bangladeshi players.
Introduced a dedicated analysis hub with match previews, game strategy guides, and data-driven insights to help 98bd players make smarter decisions.
Six pillars that define everything we do for Bangladeshi players
When you win on 98bd, your money should reach you fast. Our average withdrawal processing time is under 30 minutes. We support bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and direct bank transfer — the payment methods Bangladeshi players actually use every day. No hidden fees, no unnecessary delays, no excuses.
Every game on 98bd uses certified random number generators audited by independent third parties. The odds are transparent, the RTP rates are published, and the results cannot be manipulated — by us or anyone else. Fair play is not a marketing line for us. It is a technical guarantee baked into the platform architecture.
Over 90% of 98bd users play on their phones. That is why every feature, game, and page is designed mobile-first. The app runs smoothly on devices with 2GB RAM, loads quickly even on 3G connections, and uses minimal data. If it does not work on the phones Bangladeshi players actually own, we do not ship it.
Our customer support team is available 24/7 and includes native Bengali speakers who understand the context of your questions. Whether you are dealing with a payment issue, need help understanding a game mechanic, or just want to ask about a promotion, you will get a real answer from a real person on 98bd — not a bot reading from a script.
Your data and money are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by major banks. 98bd stores sensitive information on encrypted servers with multi-layer authentication protocols. We have never experienced a data breach, and we invest continuously in security infrastructure to keep it that way.
We believe gaming should be fun, never harmful. 98bd provides deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and direct links to support organizations. If playing stops being enjoyable, we want you to have the tools to step back. Our responsible gaming policies are not buried in fine print — they are built into the user experience.
98bd is not just a business — it is a product built by people who genuinely care about the Bangladeshi gaming community. We did not create this platform from a boardroom in London or Singapore. The founding team lives and breathes in the same world as our users. We know what mobile data costs. We know how frustrating it is when a platform does not support bKash. We know the feeling of winning a bet and then waiting three days for the money to show up.
That lived experience shapes every decision we make at 98bd. When we chose our payment partners, we picked the ones that Bangladeshi users already trust — bKash, Nagad, Rocket. When we designed the app, we tested it on Redmi and Samsung Galaxy A-series phones because that is what most people actually use. When we hired our support team, we hired people who speak Bangla and understand the cultural context of our players.
Going forward, our commitment remains the same. We will continue to improve the platform based on direct feedback from Bangladeshi players. We will keep our payout times fast. We will maintain our fair gaming certifications. And we will continue investing in responsible gaming features because we want 98bd to be a platform people enjoy for years, not something that causes harm.
